PHILADELPHIA'S UPHEAVAL.

They are having a funny municipal
canvass down in the staid old Quaker
city of brOtherly love. Philadelphia is
Republican stronghold, and has al
WAYS been a great Sunday school town.
They have an idea down there that
man isn't fit for an Office unless he is
Sunday school teacher. The result is
that the politicians have worked them
selves into the Sunday schools, and on
public occasions can wear as Sanctimo-
niOuS faces as ever the PuritanS did.
Everybody knows that there is just as
much corruption under the surface of
politics in Philadelphia as in any town
in the world, and perhaps more social
vice and immortality than in any two
cities. At the same time the dOmi-
nant party has always aimed to keep
up an outward appearance of respect
ability though it was sepulcher of cor
ruption within. In the present in
stance, however, it has been unmasked
by its own nominee for sheriff. LEEDS,
the Republican candidate, was man
who went about the city ready to sing
hymn at one club house or to tap keg
of beer at another. But it seems that
he was much fonder of the latter cere-
mony than the former, and his beer key
tapping became so frequent that it gave
him nOtoriety. The Republican leaders
undertook to curb their candidate, but
without success. When eXpoStulated
with he made the admission that eff the
people tumble to my racket hell will be
TO pay but was confident in his
own mind that the beer cam
paign could be kept up with all the
privacy that had been done before. But
1t hasn't. The people did finally tumble
to LEEDS racket, and now the Old
Harry is to pay, sure enough. The gen.
timely respectable element of the Re
publican party has spewed LEEDS out
of its mouth. Out of the fifteen daily
papers in the city thirteen are arrayed
In opposition to LEEDS. Ministers of
the gospel of Republican tendencies are
preaching sermons on the subject and
advising their congregations to vote
against LEEDS. Now that he is satisfied
that he has lost favor with the Sunday
school element of his party, LEEDS has
fully unmasked, and stands before the
people of the Quaker City as the Repub-
lican representative of a wide-open pol
icy, and proposes to fight it out on that
issue

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

The loss of the Vernon on Lake Mich
igan last Saturday is suggestive of
a change that ought to be made
in the matter of passenger trans
portatiOn on the lakes and
rivers. The names of the passengers
who were lost Oh the Inflated steamer
are unknown, and perhaps some Of them
will never be known. Their names
were all recorded in the passenger book
of the steamer, but that book was in
possession of the officers of the boat and
is now at the bottom of Lake Michigan.
1t is the common practice on steamers
to carry the passenger list on the boat.
Our navigation laws should require two
sets of books to be kept, one to be re-
tanned by the officers Oh the boat and
the other to be left at the port from
whence the boat sails. By this means
if boat is lost with all on board, as was
the case with the Vernon, 1t will be
easy to ascertain the names of the lost,
as well as the exact amount OF cargo
the vessel carried.

Cup IN A BALLOON"

ANTONIO lNFANTES went up in a bal
loon at st. Louis Sunday night and fell
distance of 500 feet to the earth, where
he was picked up crushed. mangled,
dead. Perhaps it is not asserting too
much to say that ANTONIO INFANTEs
deserved tile fate he met. Ever since
the discovery of gas men have been go
ing up in balloons and coming down to
be picked up in pieces, and there has
been profit to no one but the under
takers. The scientific world is no better
off to-day because balloons have taken
men heavenward and has dropped
many of them earthward to be mOurned
over by their friends. The clouds were
not created by the hand of the Omnipo-
tent to be navigated by men. The blue
dome that bends over us was not made
to be scratched and secured and SCARED
by the corded bag of balloon.
Mans sphere is on earth, and
just so long as he fights against
the mandates of nature, just so
long he will meet defeat. A man
who goes up in balloon is not brave;
he is foolhardy. He may be splendidly
educated in the fine arts, and he may be
thoroughly versed in the mysteries of
science, but he lacks common sense. and
it is the lack of this identical element
that gives the world Its fools.
The great ambition of aerOnautS of
to-day is to invent some means by which
they can control the movements of a
L, - Oh
face of the earth, but so long as the
ether is full of contrary currents, and
the supporting power of a balloon is
lighter than the substance upon which
it floats, the aerODautS will work on
the steering apparatus in vain. Sup
posing, however, the Ruler of things
universal should choose to send to earth
in His own mysterious way a genius
who could accomplish what the aeronauts
have worked for in vain, and ball oons
could be propelled eastward through a
westward blowing current and could
be anchored at any point the ethereal
cruiser chose to stop, what particular
good would be gained? What profit
would be reaped by the world at large?
There are some dreamers who are silly
enough to argue that some day the air
will be navigated by balloons as the
oceans are by Ships-that the atmOs-
phere above us will indeed be high
way of commerce, and that this mode of
transportation will become the popular
one, since it promises more rapid
transit than can possibly be obtained
through the application of any project
i've force on the earth surface or on the
bosom of the oceans. This is pleas
ant occupation for these dreamerS, and
it would be cruel to rob them of their
pretty fancy; for, without it,they would
droop and die; but so long as people
can travel from one locality to another
on terra firma or in substantial ships on
the broad seas, they are going to do it
in prefer ence to sailing through the air
in a balloon with the chances in favor of
their dropping to the ground with dull,
sickening thud, to be picked up on the
installment plan by sensible friends
whose convictions are in favor of stay
ing on earth until removed by death.

DEFENDING THE ANARCHISTS.

Rev. j. villa BLAKE, a Chicago
preacher, gave from his pulpit last Sun
day some reasons why. in his estimation,
the anarchists should not hang. The
principal reason he gave was that they
were in part the product of hard social
conditions, and that the misery and re-
belliOn caused by centuries of European
tyranny is in their blood just as much
as the self control and sobriety of the
Puritan is in his blood.
There is more or less Truth in the
statements of Mr.. BLAKE, but his argu-
ment does not eXOnerate the anarchists
from the blame that has fallen on them
one iota. Without an exception every
anarchist in Chicago under the sentence
of death is man of brains, man of more
than ordinary intelligence, man in full
possession of all his faculties and man
thoroughly responsible for his acts; and

A DARING ROBBERY.
Masked Highwaymen Rob Hiram
Brown OF $500 Near Red Wing
and Kill One of His Horses.

Special to the Globe
RED WING, Oct. 31.-This forenoon,
between 8 and o'clock, Hiram Brown
left his home at Maiden Rock, Wis,
with 500 in cash, bound for this city.
When he had reached a point short
distance this side of Warrentown he
was accosted by two masked men, the
one armed with shot gun and the
other with a revolver, and demanded
his money. He handed out
his pocketbook containing some
small change, and drove on. He had
proceeded but short distance when he
was again commanded to stop. He re-
fused to comply, and Immediately one
of the desperadoes fired, killing one of
his horses. Both then came up and
searched Mr.. Brown. securing the $500.
They then disappeared. and Mr.. Brown
came on to this city. There is no clue
to the perpetrators. but an organized
effort will Immediately be made to APP
prehend them.

to splinters several hundred feet from
the scene of the explosion.
The people living in the vicinity were
startled by the lOudness of the report
which was followed by the crash of fall

destroyed, but also several buildings
in the vicinity. The shock could
be felt for miles away, and
the greatest confusion prevailed.
When the smoke and dust cleared away
search was made for the dead and in
jured, and the cries of the women and
sorrow of relatives as the dead were
dug out were sad to hear.
